SAD ACCIDENT. - Capt. Duffee, of the propeller ADVENTURER (sic.) , was killed at Youngstown on Wednesday last. The propeller had just arrived at the dock, and coming up with considerable force, the Captain, who was standing on the upper deck, was precipitated over the rail, and being caught between the vessel and the dock, had his right shoulder badly jammed, his arm broken in three places, and the right side of his head horribly bruised,
He died in a short time from the injuries received. Capt. Deffee resided at Queenstown.
